    I was looking at an overhead view of MSU practice facility.

    Where is there enough room for an IPF? Would they have to take one of the outdoor practice fields? Not sure that is enough room for fully functional building plus practice field inside.

    Interesting topic. How many SEC teams don't have one?

    Every SEC school now has one - but ours is "one of the oldest" and we share with baseball.

    New one will eventually be built where the turf practice field sits.

    I really like that turf practice field. Nearly impossible for practice to be rained out. Happens maybe once or twice per season.

    You have to have facilities to compete for recruiting. At this point even Vanderbilt will have nicer indoor facilities than us

    Invest in the player experience for sure. AU has a barber shop and a recording studio, lol. If we are going to do an IPF, better make it multi-purpose and not half ass it. The Palmerio center is pretty bland. If we are always trying to catch up, we will never get ahead.

    Imagine living in the nicest neighborhood in town. This neighborhood has the biggest houses in town. Your house is 1 of the smaller in the neighborhood but you're still in the neighborhood. Now everyone in the subdivision builds the biggest largest fanciest pools you can get. Well you decide to go to Walmart & buy a little splash pool for your kids. The neighbors don't say anything to your face but all talk behind your back. All of a sudden your house & property loses value because of that cheap pool. That's MSU & the Palmeiro.

    If recruiting is the lifeblood of your program & every one of your competitors are walking recruits through their stadium, football facilities, & IPF then we take them to the Palmeiro or say we don't have 1 it looks 2nd rate. Everyone has 1 but us. It makes no sense & it's not that hard to build around the turf field with a walkway from the weight room. I've heard David Murray say it would stop the coaches from being able to see the field from the balcony of the Seal or their offices. I've seen several IPF's with either glass windows on the side or the raised garage door style openings on the side. It's a weak excuse. We're bringing in more money than we ever have & it's about to go up with Texas & Oklahoma coming. Get it done.

    Not disagreeing. But what if instead of building the fancy pool to look like the rest of the neighbors, you use that money to build something even nicer that nobody else in the neighborhood has and then show it off? You gain property value bc nobody else has what you have.

    Just food for thought.

    Not just about rain. Also gives players a cooler place to work out in during the Summer & Warmer in the winter.

    Allows our players to get more reps together.

    We're an SEC program for goodness sakes

    slapping a roof over our already nice turf practice field doesn't fire me up. I like how our weight room has a bay door that opens right out onto the practice field.
